Friday afternoon at 2 pm the First Annual Youth International Party Fal! Social and Smoke-In got underway with only three participants. Soon their numbers swelled to 36 despite the humid cold. To quote YIP leader Dave ktetesk y, “There was more dope than we knew what to do with. . . ./ook for the outasight Annual Second Youth International Party Fall Social and Smoke-In in the near future”.

program. McDowell greeted the audience with his copyrighted, “I don’t play no rock-n-roll,” drawing a great cheer of encouragment from the crowd. He does play rock-n-roll, of course; its just that he played it before it was named that by a bunch of young white musicians. His brand of rural up-beat picking can be found, strained a bit and amplified a lot, through-out the spectrum of rock. A few solid blues fans were familiar with his material and shouted out songs they wanted him to play-he did do Highway 61 at their insistence-but most of the fans simply seemed to want him to establish his beat so they could clap along, like they do with Led Zepplin and Grand Funk. McDowell’s attitude toward the audience, though, seemed to set the tone for the relationship between performers and fans until Muddy Waters’ band hit the stage last just after midnight.

guitar-though not very original or versatile-and adds to each riff with an accompaniment of emotional theatrics right out of early Jimi Hendrix. Unfortunately, we got to hear relatively little from his brother, Mark, who appeared to be a more original and serious guitar-man, as evidenced later when he backed up John Lee Hooker.. Guy’s band is obviously very well-trained and well-oiled, but lacked any display of spirit or love for either blues or the audience Saturday night. They were too busy being professional. The drummer and the bass player both seemed openly bored, both by Buddy’s theatrics and their own music. The two sax men showed the same languid spirit. Buddy brought Junior Wells on to play with him and his band-a practice evidently quite familiar to them all-and Wells took over the theatrics, though not quite with as much verve. Though Wells’ reputation is as a

narp player, the harp playing he showed at Waterloo was routine 3nd disappointing. Wells, too, seems to owe more to James Brown and soul music than to the blues, though he trotted out some night-club blues for the occasion. Guy’s back-up guitar man and bass player then returned to the stage to back John Lee Hooker. Although Hooker is a shit guitar player himself and is getting a little old to put the old spirit into his own material, it was good to see him on the bill, just to give tribute to a man who’s given a lot to blues jver many years. He did a short set and went off to proper applause. Then the real blues returned to the stage, this time in the person of the Muddy Waters Blues Band. Muddy has put together a group of men who know the bluesChicago styleand seem to love playing it. And they are all more than competent. Muddy has a harpist-a farout cat by the name of Oscher-who was the only white man to appear on stage as a performer Saturday night. But Oscher has the stuff to stand with.a select group of white men who have paid their dues in Chicago and elsewhere and have a right to be playing the blueswhite men like , Charlie Musselwhite and Johnny Winter, though Winter has turned his blues back toward rock recently. Muddy’s band was also the only group to fail the recent trend of the performers now being bettergroomed than the audience. His group just walked on in their working clothes and went to work-two competent guitar men, harp, bass, drums and a fine old

blues piano player. ‘They got themselves working, and then brought Muddy on. There seems to be absolutely no hype or condescension in his group’s music. They cook the blues and get off on the audience reaction, and ask the listeners to respond to the basic power of the music rather than to some sort of visceral theatrical play. Muddy isn’t very flamboyant, but he plays the blues, and his band works on the same level. He played a few numbers the blues fans in the audience were familiar with through his “Electric Mud” album, but like all good musicians, his recordings simply cannot be compared to his live music. Hoochie-Koochie Man and I’m a Man came out as powerful personal and musical ecperiences, with Muddy’s voice still strong enough to evoke sincere blues responses-that is, making you feel the personal pain and carnal pleasure of the men who put words to blues music, men who have lived those words. Muddy and his men finally had the crowd on its feet and responding, not to a figure on the stage being paid to entertain, but to the compassionate, human call of a music which will not let an open listener sit through it. It was a perfect way to end what could have been to many a disappointing night with “blues.” It’s unfortunate only that one or two men still practising rural acoustic blues could not have been on in the place of Wells or Guy to round out the blues’ scope today, but a night of acoustic blues would be a fine idea itself for sometime in the future. george kaufrnan

As has become usual with political speakers on campus this fall, NDP leader David Lewis faced hecklers -and spirited questions during an address friday night. Lewis, the national leader of the angrily rejected a party, suggestion that international unions should be treated the same way as the NDP would treat foreign-owned companies. Trade unionism in Canada grew up’ on an international basis, he said, with the first unions being . british-based ones. Since that.. time americ’an-based unions have become dominant, but with, very - few exceptions “Canadian unions have achieved almost complete autonomy ,” he said. Unions in Canada retain the right to l.ocally accept or reject a con tract, Lewis maintained. His statement, however, was challenged by a united auto workers member who claimed that his union’s international headquarters had once ordered striking Massey-Ferguson workers back to work so a U.S. union could go on strike. The man also claimed that Walter Reuther, late president of the UAW, once said that he didn’t care what happened to Canadian unions as long as unions in the United States received the money. With anger in his voice, Lewis replied, “As sure as I’m standing here, Walter Reuther never said such a thing.” . He told the man that if he had proof of his allegation that Lewis would like to see. it and then would apologize. But if there were no proof he expected an apology in return. But while Lewis defended trade unionism, someone in the audience* shouted : “What about Jimmy Hoffa?‘: . (Hoffa, former president of the american teamsters union now serving a jail term for jury tampering. 1 ’ Hoffa is a scoundrel, Lewis said . but anyone who uses him as an example of trade unionism makes

Vallierks

a deliberate misrepresentation and is exceedingly unfair. There are “far more corporate crooks than will ever be found ir the labor movement,” Lewis asserted. At one - point, Carl Sulliman federation vice-president, in terrupted the heated exchange between Lewis and the audience and suggested that Lewis was no’ head of the UAW and that questioners should confine-- their questions closer to the area ot Canadian politics. Lewis then smiled and said, “remember, I wasn’t the one who a&led you to stop” and continued to answer questions for almost two hours. He shared the platform with Jo Surich, NDP candidate for the Waterloo north riding. - Surichonly took the podium once to add a comment to a question about the Tex-pat strike in Brantford. In his opening remarks, Lewis expressed his concern about’ pollution citing examples of pulp mill waste in Nova Scotia and strip mining in the Northwest Territories. - Lewis proposed’ that companies that pollute should be made to clean up the waste instead of being given a “licence to pollute” by courts that levy miniscule fines. If fines failed to produce results then the offending firms should be closed or taken over by the government. He implied that nationalization of the companies would prevent massive unem; ployment which might-result from closings. The current high unemployment was launched by the Liberal government to fight inflation, he said. Lewis compared the economic problems of the present federal government and those of the Diefenbaker administration. Although Trudeau is more competent than Diefenbaker, he is “ideogically far to the right” oft the former Conservative leader, Lewis said. Trudeau, Lewis claimed, has turned out to be one of the worst in a long time. - prime ministers

MONTREAL (CUPI) - ‘Rather than “submit interminably to fake political trials”, Quebec intellectual and author of the controversial “White Niggers of America”, Pierre Vallieres has gone underground. According to a communique received September IO by the French language daily tabloid “Montreal Matin”, Vallieres plans to engage in more useful action. When Vallieres failed to show in court on September 7, crown prosecutor Stephen Cuddihy announced that a warrant had automatically been issued for his arrest. The warrant was originally suspended until September 27, the tentative trial date, but the suspension was lifted on the day the communique was made public and Vallieres can now be arrested on sight. The communique, found ‘in a trashcan outside the offices of Montreal Matin and bearing the letterhead of the front de liberation du Quebec (FLQ) said Vallieres was going underground “because the FLQ does not think that, faced with a system by nature legal political action repressive, can lead to the overthrow of the establishment” and “because to overcome, it is necessary to know how to take the offensive and to determine ourselves the place and form of the struggle.” Vallieres, who has spent the last four years in jail appealing various charges of FLQ activity, without, however, being convicted, faces trial on charges arising out of the

war measures act. His previous charges have been dropped and he is now accused of’ seditious conspiracy and membership in the FLQ. Co-defendants teacher Charles Gagnon. and former broadcaster Jacques LarueLanglois were acquitted lastspring. “Some will say that if Pierre Vallieres went into hiding, it is ‘because he was really guilty”, the communique went on to say. “But what patriot is innocent to the government which he is trying to overthrow? Guilt and innocence vary totally, according to which side of the barricades one is on; we are on , the side of the exploited...the ‘politicians, capitalists, cops, judges are on the other side...there are more people on ours.” The communique also went on to point out that trials and demonstrations are no longer enough, that clandestine armed action is the principal way to dreate the conditions for developing any revolutionary mass organisation. “We must oppose increasing repression with increasing revolutionary violence,” the communique said. “It is becoming ridiculously childish, faced with the aggravation of the economic crisis this autumn and winter, to hope that by _ multiplying the petitions, placards, and posters we can turn the profiteers of the Quebec people into evangelical apostles of workers’ power, of social justice and liberty.” “We can only place our hope in our arms and in our unity,” it said.

Instead of .halting production which satisfies no useful human need, and which is destroying the environment, he calls for more employment utilizing the same irrational technology to clean up the results. How does Lewis pose a ‘solution to the pollution problem? He sees the need for “forcing corporations to pay for cleaning up the pollution they create”, to put “anti-pollution devices” in industry, and for federal government subsidy of urban waste treatm.ent plants. Instead of halting the production of waste, he calls for the creation of more waste to treat it. The essence ignored by the leading tendency of the NDP is that capitalism is pollution. To maintain capitalism, one must maintain employment-wage control over the mass of the people. To maintain employment, one must maintain an artificially high level of production and consumption which is destroying the ecology and making the act of labour a totally dehumanizing process. This is the basic question which , the NDP and all of us must face if _ we are going- to talk of alternatives to the present mess. We must squarely face , the task of the revolutionary transformation of capitalism to a social-system in which produotion is solely for the satisfaction of natural human need as determined by the people themselves. If we are to be serious *about creating a humanist social order we must face the problem of transcending capitalism first in our own lives and theinstitutions and organizations in which we exist. If the NDP is to be serious, then it must face the problem of z transforming itself into a noncapitalist organization.

S

Italy was the birthplace of fascism. France experienced the rule of German fascism for four years. Now an Italian-French production team has made a film about that period. The film, The Conformist, is an adaptation of a novel by Albert0 Moravia. It is foremost a character study in which we find out how someone becomes a nasty fascist, and how this beast ticks. Obviously, because a kind of character, or personality type is trying to be projected in this film, no real character development takes place. Rather we see a monster being constructed.

The weakness in this film is further stressed by director Bernard0 Bertolucci’s constant spotting of short symbolic episodes throughout the film. One instance of this is when our anti-hero fascist visits a whore house to receive instructions for the test of murder that he must commit to prove himself worthy of admittance to the fascist bosom. In less than sixty seconds, we see our anti-hero clutch a scarred prostitute to his breast as a male voice calls him back to his duty and an old driedup madame moves past the doorway in robot-like fashion. All very deep. Very, very heavy. This super-saturation of symbolic developments and stereotype characterization finally turns The Conformist into a visual literary piece. This film has been made to cater to the taste of a sophisticated audience used to dabbling in verbal imagery and symbol juggling. In short, it is a film primarily for film festival

judges& intellectuals, and even as the manager of the movie theatre suggested, students. Students, intellectuals, sophisticates and politicos should enjoy this film. The arguments in interpretation that could arise from watching this film could prove to keep conversation going for hours. Indeed, the complexities in the development of the fascist personality are skillfully portray ed. Jean Louis Trintignant stars as the aristocratic Italian who decides that his safety and survival suggest that he become one of Mussolini’s boys. He marries beneath himself, taking a scatterbrain, petite bourgeois chick with a good body. A domestic servant with big tits, from his wife’s household, is thrown into the bargain. Initially then, first reaction to the film is likely to be that The Conformist is simply a sketch of the rise of fascism in Europe. The marriage of the aspiring fascist and his dumb lowborn, played by Steffana Sandrelli, parallels the uniting of the upper classes and the petit-bourgeois classes against the working class of Italy. This was the social basis of totalitarian rule. Yet, the strength of the film is that The Conformist does go beyond the theme of how one person’s life can reflect the social reality of his culture. With admirable technique, Jean Louis Trintignant is able to portray how personal crisis can render a person susceptible to desiring totalitarian rule. The film’s

fascination is this exploration of the rise of popular fascism. Sexual perversion is presented as the root cause of the anti-hero’s neurotic condition. As a young lad, he was picked up by a chauffeur and seduced. Afterwards, horrified, the ,lad picks up the chauffeur’s gun and shoots his rapist. This trauma, is the reason why he feels he must join the fascists and carry out their orders. Only through committing more murder can the guilt of the earlier crime be expiated. The conclusion of the film, however, proves that the hero has been lying to himself. It was not the guilt of murder that forced him to submit; rather, it was fear of his perverse lust. If a person fought for the autocratic, paternal family, and the fascist fatherland, then homosexual drives could be sublimated. Director Bertolucci uses The Conformist to also pursue his antipapist crusade. The church’s morality becomes the very tool by which the Italian fascist party can pursue its ends. In the confessional scene, the’priest makes clear that the crime of sexual sinning is far greater than that of murder. A country which has this order of values is a place where Mussolinis and Hitlers have a good chance of . making themselves a career. Regrettably, the film’s seven day run ended last week at the Hyland theatre. The examination of repressive, authoritarian culture could be a rewarding exploration for other filmmakers. The Conformist should hopefully become a trendsetter.

Grand Hotel For not too many inexplicable reasons people are groping back into the past; audiences are finding a degree of security in the warm bosom of nostalgia. Today a flick must have behind it a strong meaningful message and quality acting in order to be considered first rate. Often the message is pointed directly at the viewing audience, picking away at middleclass life styles, aspirations and beliefs. As often as not films will probe and uncover the seediness of our history. There are no longer many illusions left as to how the western world achieved affluence, nor many misconceptions as to how it is retained. In the past for a movie to be acclaimed, -all that was required was good performing - - often overdone - - and an unsophisticated plot. Now audiences will often turn to this kind of movie for a rest from the continual bombardment of sermons and accusations; after all life in the good old days was simple and predictable. It is interesting to speculate as to why this sort of film holds any interest for younger people. After all, this was well before their time; so no real nostalgia is involved. ‘Camp’ may answer part of the question, but this only scratches the surface; it is an interesting situation that needs perusal.

Grand Hotel, now playing at the Odeon Hyland, is reminiscent of a masterful soap opera. Taking place in Berlin between the two world wars, the movie attempts to depict a segment in the life of dilletantes living at the Grand Hotel. The emptiness of the lives led at the hotel is brought out by the Doctor, played by Lewis Stone. The Doctor is a man wounded in WWl and facially disfigured. He has never quite accepted the life he leads, and therefore sees only too clearly that ‘nothing ever happens’ at a place like the Grand Hotel, his recurring lament throughout the film. The enigma of course, is why he remains knowing meaningless of the lives spent there. Greta Garbo plays a Russian ballerina who can’t work up any enthusiasm over her work. She is depressed over the death of her lover, the Grand Duke, and-the fact that the world she loved -- that of the Russian aristocracy -- has passed away forever. At the lowest point of her depression she falls in love and then bounces back with exuberance. Her vivaciousness and graceful movements capture the audience and holds them. Garbo was an excellent actress, playing her parts with sensitivity and acumen. \The extraordinary facet of her acting lay in the fact that she did not speak English; all her lines in front of the camera were memorized.

The movie has many interesting and intricate sub-themes running through it. An important item is the class relationship set up in the film. The members of the working class are played by Lionel Barrymore and Joan Crawford. The aristocracy is played by John Barrymore and Greta Garbo, and finally the rising industrialist is played by Wallace Beery . In the movie, the working class join forces with the aristocracy against the big mean industrialist. One wonders as to whether or not this reflects the feeling of the time, that being the aristocracy of America, i.e. Roosevelt, joining forces with the- working class of America to fight the industrialists. The outcome of course *was the anti-trust and anti-collusion laws. The movie is primarily aimed at people who are mainly rural based or still having this frame of r,eference. It is within this perspective that Lionel Barrymore’s antics must be viewed. The scene most emphasizing the rural direction of the film is one in which Lionel, staggering drunken into his room, becomes as fascinated as a child while flashing the light on and off. It becomes especially evident for _ whom the movie is aimed when, at the end Lionel Barrymore, the poor working man, who goes, off with the girl -- Joan Crawford -and the money.

Mr. Pritchard:

With regard to the Notice of Application by the Corporation. of the City of Kitchener to Dispense with a Vote of the Elwtnrs t.n the proposed Oxlea-T. Eaton development involving the city hall and market square, I object most strenuously to both the manner in which the decision was reached and I also have some very distinct objections relating to the proposal itself.. I would certainly ask the Ontario Municipal Board to allow the voters of the city of Kitchener to express their wishes one ‘way or another by holding a referendum at our local municipal election on December 6th, 1971, on this particular proposal, in view of its magnitude and its far reaching consequences. As an alderman in the city of Kitchener, I have objected most strenuously, especially in the manner in which it was handled, and I outline my objections as follows : Although there has been an urban renewal scheme in Kitchener since 1962,. the scheme changed from 1962 to 1965 and although a series of public meetings were held in 1968 on the urban renewal scheme, there has not been one public meeting since that time but, in fact, the scheme has changed and the proposed development by Oxlea is different from the scheme envisaged in 1968. Therefore, since the electors, the people, have not had an opportunity to discuss the change, no decision whould have been made by Council and if a decision was made by Council, the same should certainly not be binding on any future Council without allowing a referendum to be held on it. In my term on Council, which is approximately four years, there has only been one other proposal which has come to my attention. This was dealt in caucus and in

secrecy for about fifteen minutes and dealt with an exchange of lands and buildings both in the city hall complex and the MacKenzie King square area. This was not discussed seriously as the developer was not substantial enough and that was the end of the proposal in 1968. Since that time, there has not been one serious proposal for the city hall square that has come to Councils’ at. tention. There were onlv two meetings held by city council both in caucus and in secrecy with regard to this specific porposal, one on may 31st, 1971, and the other on june 21st, 1971, at which time only five hours were given to debate,with no public debate at all and no notice given to the public. A special meeting of council was held on june 28th, 1971, to ratify this agreement. There was a five hour discussion by interested persons from the community who voiced objections and I made a motion at the june 28th, 1971, meeting to defer the decision for a month to July 26th, 1971, allowing public discussion to take place before council made the decision. This motion was defeated by a vote of nine to one. When we went through the proposal agreement in detail, I subsequently made another motion for deferral on July public 12th, 1971, to allow discussion to be held until the end of July, 1971. This motion was also defeated by a vote of nine to one. There were no public meetings whatsoever until the middle of August, 1971, at which time the city felt that it should hold a series of public meetings in order to explain the position of why they made the decision and they have indicated in council that they .do not intend to change their minds or even reconsider the matter or to put the matter on as a referendum in December, 1971. Here we are dealing with approximately three acres of public owned land and the first thing to consider is the fact that it is public owned land, paid for by the citizens of Kitchener and they should have an opportunity to express themselves-on whether they wish the

property to be sold, at what price, when it is to be sold and what is to be developed in its place, if it is sold. The two specific proposals outlined in schedule “A” under paragraphs l(a) and ‘(b) of the Notice of Application by the Corporations of the city of Kitchener to dispense with a vote of the electors deal with (a) the city hall leasing 30,000 square feet in an office tower at a rent of $6.50 per square foot for a term of fifteen years, basic rental to be increased in annual taxes and in annual maintenance costs. With regard to this aspect, I would most seriously object. First of all, the city hall although it is currently finding space problems and has two offices in other buildings is not desperately in need of other space at this particular time and I feel that is is foolhardy to commit ourselves to a fifteen year lease at that rental when the county board of education is renting the approximate same amount of space in Corporation Square and negotiated a lease for $4.50 per wquare foot and the City of Waterloo has just negotiated a lease for five years in the new Marsland Center in Waterloo for $3.50 per square foot. My most strenuous objection to the accommodation for the city hall for fifteen years in an office tower building is that it in no way relates to the MacKenzie King square area in which the city of Kitchener has been buying up property over a number of years, ripping down stately homes and losing the assessment on this creating grass and property, parking lot areas and council has no specific plan for development for a city hall in this particular area in their five year capital forecast and I feel that we cannot deal with the city hall square property of the city hall complex the without dealing with MacKenzie King square area until we come up with a specific plan for redevelopment of both. This would also make premature any development in the MacKenzie King square area if, in fact, we get tied up in a fifteen year lease. We .

do have the right to sublet however and I would suggest that this would be extremely difficult to do for the amount of space involved. There is the further objection that if, in fact, we rent quarters for fifteen years, we are paying $l%,OOO.OO a year rent which amounts to approximately $3,000,000.00 for fifteen years and after that time, we still do not have any city hall and if we are then going to build one, it is going to cost a lot more in fifteen years then it is now, if the last fifteen years is any indication of rising costs. Also, with regional government taking place and, in fact, with the report on regional government already made bv Mr. Bales, I would suggest that this whole developement is premature until in fact, we know how we are going to develop MacKenzie King square area and where the city hall complex fits into that in regional government. There is the question of the convention arts facility in MacKenzie King square area and nothing is on the books for any capital forecast in the next five years or anything being spent there and, in fact, any sale proceeds being taken out of the city hall are going to be used to expropriate further properties so that there will be no moneys left for any convention arts facility and, in fact, there may not be any moneys left as a result of expropriation proceedings to complete underground services and further expropriations in the perimeter route along Charles and Duke streets. I would also object to the expropriation procedures between King and Frederick streets now taking place as we have frozen prices up to the MacKenzie King square area and it is quite possible to do the same thing here and not expropriate at this time as it is not necessary and since Phase II is not a part of this specific proposal, it is not necessary to buy up the most prime property along King Street now. I would further advise that at the councils’ caucus, the developer went through seven phases of plans

and in one phase, the Eaton’s complex was on one side of the city hall with the tower building on the other, which I am quite in favour of, no other consideration was given to any other development or any other alternative schemes in the downtown area in relation to the city hall or the Eaton’s complex or the parking garage complex. In relation to paragraph 1 (b> of schedule “A” relating to the parking garage, what is going to be built is a 750 space parking garage with the first tow floors to be used for market space. The city will give this land to the developer for $1.00. The developer will build the garage and amortize their costs over thirty years at 9 percent with 11~~ percent profit making a total cost of 101% percent and the city will pay $275,000.00 a year rent for to thirty years, which amounts $8,250,000.00 for thirty years and in, order to pay for this, of course, it would have to fill the parking garage and pay equivalent rates to what we are* now paying in our current parking garage at Duke and Ontario streets. I would suggest that the city did not give any consideration towards building their own parking garage as we had done before or debenturing these costs and would note that we are now selling over the counter debentures for approximately $1,000,000.00 to the public at 8lh percent from one to ten years. It may be a lot cheaper for us to build our own parking garage rather than -allowing the developer to build it and us paying I those costs over such a long period of time. Also, the city’s arguments saying that we need the parking spaces is a fallacy since we already built for $1,350,000.00 the Duke and Ontario Streets parking garage in 1968 and have never been able to fill it and council has had to continually bail out the parking garage and since 1968, the parking garage has run deficits of over $IOO,OOO.OO each year. I might advise that this parking garage holds approximately four hundred cars and it is foolhardy to suggest building another parking

garage as close to it as possible without indicating in any way that it is going to be filled or guaranteeing that it is going to be filled by the new Eaton’s complex. . I am not aware of any plans to build a parking garage this close to the existing parking garage in any urban renewal scheme and there was never any consideration given In the pollution and traffic problems involved in this new garage. Also, the publ@ utilities commission which runs the transportation system has not given any consideration with regard to traffic problems especially in front of the city hall or the rerouting of traffic in this area. -With regard to paragraph number 2 with regard to the widening and re-construction of ,Duke street, this only entails one part of it and although this was approved a number of years ago, there has been no consideration given for the widening of Duke street Cedar

None of the items listed in schedule “A” are any where in our capital forecast for this year. With regard to Kitchener’s internationally famous farmers’ market I had asked for, both at caucas and one June 28th, 1971, that consideration be given to renovate

building

the

existing

market

and I asked for an appraisal with regard to costs and this was never given. I requested this again on July 12th, 1971, and this was again refused. If, in fact, there are problems with regard to sanitation, health facilities and washrooms, I would suggest that we consider the alternative plans of renovating the existing market and possibly adding an annex to the existing building. As you are well aware, in the summertime, half of our market is outdoor market area as a parking garage will encompass the whole of the indoor market. I suggest that it is up to the people to express their feelings xlrhether they want to renovate the existing market or rip it down or

build a new one in view of the fact that it draws a large number of tourists to the area and contributes to the economy by millions of dollars each year and it is a very famous market drawing vendors from both the Mennonite Pennsylvania Dutch community as well as from the Niagara fruit belt. Also, the vendors of the market were never consulted or given any opportunity to express their opinions as to whether they were in favour of ripping the market down or in favour of running a three or five day market and whether they agree to any increase in prices to rent the stalls and I would suggest that the majority of the vendors are upset and are opposed to the present scheme. They are, in fact, giving serious consideration to moving the market to another area including the city of Waterloo and the village of St. Jacobs. Council indicated that they wished to build a parking garage similar to Hamilton and London and I would advise you that many of the people from Hamilton come to our market because they are not happy with the parking garage structure and the noise problems and carbon monoxide problems dealing with parking garages over existing markets. With regard to ‘the whole development, I would suggest that when we are dealing with public land, that the question of public tender has not been considered at all and that it should have bben given consideration. In this case, this was the only specific proposal given and it was a lock, stock, package deal and indicated in caucas that if the deal was not accepted, Eaton’s wo’uld pull out of the downtown area and Council had to accept on their terms, the whole of the scheme or else Eaton’s would move out of the downtown area. Also, apparently Mr. Thompson, our planning director, had been negotiating with this developer since the summer of 1970 and a special urban renewal committee set up council had been negotiating also with the developer although council was not aware of it until May 31st, 1971. The zone change

was put through the planning board in January, 1971, and through council in March, 1971, without any information, given to council that there was any specific proposal being considered by the urban renewal committee or by the co-ordinating committee with regard to any specific type of project for the city hall complex I would further add that the zone change was put through or attempted to be put through in the July 26th, 1971, meeting of the Ontario m,unicipal board in Kitchener and the chairman, Mr. Arrell, as a result of an objection raised by an interested citizen, deferred decision until the whole $15,000,oOO.00 was considered rather than allow the zone change ‘to go through at thal time. There is some question in my mind whether, in fact, the zone have been change should proceeded with in view of the objections raised by a number of citizens at the June 28th, 1971, meeting and, in fact, petitions have been obtained and a separate committee which is the “Citizens’ Committee for a Better County Core” has been organized in order to present a brief and obtain petitions from people in Kitchener and surrounding communities indicating that they wish a referendum held in the matter and that they are opposing the present scheme. There was also no consideration given to the open green area in front of the city hall. This is all going to be removed and the Cenotaph is also going to be removed and although the city has talked about plans for a permanent type mall down King street, we had tried such a mall in an experiment a couple of years ago and the same failed dismally. The only green area which is allowed are potted plants and although there is some discussion with regard to the Victoria park green area development, that park is there now and is being maintained and developed as an open green area. With regard to the city hall itself, the building is only forty-seven years old and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. The ar-

chitect, Mr. Schmalz, who is on the committee,. informs me that the building could last another hundred years and even, in fact, if the city hall was moved out, the building could be used as an excellent court facility and this has been done in a number of other communities in Ontario. The city has prepared a cost benefit analysis and you will note that the figures which the city council obtained on June 2&t, 1971, show the city was running at a $29,000.00 deficit and as a result of the cost benefit analysis prepared by alderman Hoddle of the finance committee, we are now running over a $200,000.00profit. The difference being the increase in assessment which is going to be obtained and the fact that the parking of cars in the parking garage is going to pay for the structure itself. I question this in view of our experiences with out present parking garage and the figures are only estimates as to what can be realized. ..Going on past experiences, they remain very questionable. With regard to the number of jobs being created, there is nothing in the agreement saying that they have to use local labour or even unionized labour and, in fact, the developer can bring in any outside labour he wishes, union or non union, in order to complete this project. I might add that I am completely in favour of urban renewal and in favour of ripping down a number of properties along King street which are firetraps and I am completely in favour of urban renewal on both sides of city hall and the market but, I think that the city hall and the market complex should remain the same and that council should give consideration to alternate plans for locating Eaton’s and the parking garage in another location very’ near the city hall and market, possibly going east from Scott street or across King street on the other side from the city hall since our urban renewal scheme includes property in the area from Cedar street right over to Victoria street. I might also add there are a

tuesday

number of urban renewal projects that have already taken place in the downtown area without any public financing which include the building of Corporation Square, at Duke and Ontario Streets, and the Inn of the Black Walnut, which is directly across from city hall. This has been going on and will continue to go on in the downtown area. There is one further point to be raised that is with regard to the agreement signed by the city dated July 8th, 1971, binding itself to this transaction with Oxlea. I would advise you that this agreement is not only binding on council but Mr. Darrah and Mr. Moore, the city solicitor, have deliberately binded any future council and when I asked this question at council, Mr. Darrah indicated that it was binding and that if any future council tried to throw it out, we would be involved in a law suit. I would suggest, Mr. Chairman, that this council had no right to bind any future council and an escape clause whould have been added to the agreement if, in fact, any future council decided to revoke the agreement and this council had no8 right to do this without first going to the electors and having them express their wishes one way or another. Finally, Mr. Chairman, I do not think that this council has given proper consideration to what the people of the city of Kitchener want. If, in fact, they wish this transaction to go through, they will express this in a referendum in the december election. If, in fact, they wish concrete instead of open green area and if they wish to value assessment over peoples’ needs that is their right to do so. This council in view of the magnitude and size of the development and the history involved with the scheme should allow this to be put on as a referendum on the december 6th, 1971, municipal ballot.

A slim, smiling blond from Ancanster Ontario will highlight the women’s track and field team this year. Joan Eddy, member of Canada’s pan-american team this summer, ranks as one of the top women quarter milers in the country and was on the south western Ontario relay team which set a national record last month. Miss Eddy is expected to do well for the athenas in the championships late next month. Hurdler Moira O’Neill is also on campus as a freshman and has a very good lead on other college competitors for the gold medal in the sprint hurdle event. As added incentive for would-be competitors, there are plans for coed meets along with the men’s team. Travel and lodging accommodations, however, have yet to be arranged. The track coach of the men’s team Arthur Taylor will be assisting the girls. Taylor will be assisting the girls. Taylor has coached several international women athletes in his former British home. The head coach for women is Gerhard Griebenow who brings some middle euripean track experience to the campus. Practice sessions have already begun and the coaches are looking forward to meeting any newcomers especially field event athletes.

It’s time to really get involved in the next two weeks, all levels of the program will be off and running. If you are interested in competition, recreation, instruction or a club activity, act now. You still have three days to play golf for a $1.00 at Foxwood golf course to qualify for the IM championship rounds.

The warriors dropped their second game of the season to the I university of western Ontario mustangs‘23-7. The inability of the warriors to mount any kind of sustained offensive attack until the third quarter and with western leading 23-O was the story of the ball game. The offense turned the ball over six times to western, four on fumbles and twice on pass receptions with several of these coming just as the warriors showed signs of moving the ball. Chuck Wakefield, starting his second game in the quarterback slot put the ball in his receivers hands on numerous occasions only to have it dropped. He hit tight end AL Haehn several times as he moved across the centre’ and Haehn proved that he can hold onto the ball while moving in heavy traffic.

Converted TD’s The sports quiz for this week, offers one free jock strap cleaning, courtesy of the jock shop, for the earliest correct answer submitted to Charlotte in the chevron office. Who last scored a converted warrior touchdown and when? I’NI

The warriors’ longest play from scrimmage went twenty yards from Wakefield to Don Daze for the only Waterloo score. Rookie kicker Steve Boghossian converted the major . At half time, western led the game 11-O on a touchdown by Dave Clarke. The other points in the half came off the .boot of ex-warrior Paul Knill in the form of one convert and a field goal. For the second game in a row, the downfield coverage on punts left a lot to be desired. The warriors could gain little from punting. On one occassion, western’s Dave Clark ran back a Waterloo punt 70 yards for a score. Disregarding his kicking unit, coach Delahey elected to play the ball on third down situations” whenever the ball was in western territory.. Knill and Dave Kerr combined for the rest of UWO points with Kerr going 54 yards for a td on a pass from Steve Stefanko, Knill booted another field goal, the convert, and a single. Rick Cheevers blocked Knill’s other convert attempt. Defensively, the warriors have looked much better and were caught sleeping on occasion. The mustangs were quick to capitalize on the lapses the warrior players suffered.

Missed tackles were also costly as they enabled the western offence to gain five and ten extra yards at a crack. Outstanding warriors : offensively, were quarterback Chuck Wakefield and Al Haehn. Although hanging onto the ball on passes, Haehn’s blocking was anemic on the isolated occasion of his ,actuahy contactingthe opposition. Credible defensive players were Rick Wiedenhoft and Greg Plyley.

The amazing news filtered through to us (Sept. 10, 1971) by Javaid I. Khan reminds me of a popular radio comedian of some years ago who had the habit of interrupting his routine with plaintive cry “can you hear me mother? ” The story-teller never told me about the reaction of mother but I am sure that uneasy questation dogs the subconscious of all the communicators. The attempt by Pakistan’s Military Junta and some West Pakistanis to sell . the Western World their side of the story some times makes General Westmoreland’s credibility gaps look hair line cracks. Like like Amanullah Sardar (who is in charge of the image improving operation in Bangla Desh) , Mr. Khan faces the daunting task of convincing foreigners that the military regime has not in fact suppressed an autonomy movement but one of secession. In fact without documentary evidence this would be hard sledding : but Mr. Khan’s government happens to be a publisher of a book “Elections in the World’s Third Largest Democr&y” a persuasive book where in page 2 writes “the elkction results underlined the political maturity, sound common sense and the practicality of the parties average voters --__-___ preaching regionalism, tribalism, racialism and religious bigotry have been given short shrift”. I am at a loss as to whom to believe. Be that as it may but what I am convinced of right now is that in the field of propaganda Pakistan needs some foreign advisers. Somewhere Goebbels, Senator J. MacCarthy and even Horatio Bottomley must be shaking their heads and raising eye brows. If the chaotic situation .was created by a handful of persons why was it necessary to airlift five divisions of soldiers. If these “acts of rebellion” were directed against the interests of the Bengalis why did the Military Junta not arm the Bengalis instead of creating so called Non:Bengali Razakars? Why then arose the necessity of the Tochi Scouts from the North Western Frontier and the Indus Rangers? Was it absolutely ilecessary to send “special war-

fare.&perts” a rechauffe of the American original John Wayne in curry sauce from the base Cherat to Bangla Desh? I’he Bangla Desh affair is not of a second Biafara or the fruits of more interminable wrangling between Delhi and Rawalpindi. It arose simply when a well conducted, peaceful election produced a result the army could not stand. Sheikh Mujib himself has not in any certain sense declared Bengal independence. He was not askin,g essentially for more than the programme legally fought and won the election. The elements who stained their hand in the blood of the Bengali people have not done it for saving “national unity”. The Military Junta will never hesitate to perform a similar carnage in West Pakistan if their vested interests are at stake. The repression has already been started. In Sind, the leader of the Sindhi cultural movement, G. M. Syed, Sind’s best known poet, Shaikh Ayuz and the Vice-Chancellor of Sind University, Ghulam Mustafa Shah have been arrested. Mukhtar Rana, NINA-elect along with dozens of his friends has been arrested in Layallpur. Arrests of leading intellectuals and working class representatives who had taken no stand on the question .of Bangla Desh have made it abundantly clear that it is not “Separatism” but democracy and social justice which are under attack by the ruling Military Junta.

Questions, questions... Could you verify a couple of rumours that have been circ’ulating on campus. 1. That the flagpole on university avenue cost $l,OOO.OO. 2. That the university overpass cost in excess of $150,000.00. 3. That the sitting areas by math, physed and physics cost in excess of $10,000.00. 4. That the Dr. Matthews, the

university president, has a maid provided by the university as well as a car, a $100,000.00 home, and an unlimited expense account. 5. That the university gives the faculty club $20,000.00 per year until their mortgage is paid off. 6. That one tower of the married students residence isn’t open because there’s no one to live in it. 7. That the university just spent over $lO,OOO.OO putting in a handball diamond on the north campus when we don’t even have a handball team. 8. That food services doesn’t employ a dietitian and both villages and food services serve food with nutritional content, (try using brewers yeast instead of monosodium glutamate which causes cancer 1.

This may seem to some people a minor point, maybe even bordering on the trivial, but it is one of those pesky, small irritations which prove unnecessarily bothersome. The problem is a frustrating one devised by the people who open the doors to campus builgings. The plan seems to be a deviously simple one. When there is a set of six doors giving access to a building, unlock any two of these at random and leave the other four locked, then sit back and observe the users frustrate themselves attempting to guess correctly. To keep the game going, the conspirators make sure that there is no consistency to the specific doors left unlocked. Such a simple matter really, to unlock all the doors (if the wind is below hurricane level), or’ is the time required too vast? Ur- is this not in the rules?

and anarchy

With respect to the cynical quotation borrowed from Yeats in last week’s Chevron masthead, I’d like to suggest that fear of anarchy is merely the fear of those whose faith. in their fellows is very lowmost particularly, of those whose roles have abstracted them from participation with people. Psychologically, fear of anarchy is probably not so much a fear that the people can’t get it together, so much as a fear that they willwithout leaders (and this applies as much to the left as to the right). Perhaps, through different eyes, those alienated from the concept of “community” might perceive that, rather than falling apart, something new is being created. Better the center crumble than strangle the creative energy of the people. ’

splashing along through collective fits of anarchy, merrily rides the editorless but nevertheless undaunted’uniwat institution. Things are gradually returning to sanity amidst screams of ‘you’re next’. communications are improving despite the unswerving persecution complexes. nevertheless the climate down at the bog is clearing and it is more than safe for new and old staff to return to the fold. We have pages of stories that must be assigned and written. we need staff in all departments but especially in news. despite the chaos there were many people out this issue. sincerely it is hoped that they and all the others will have found it in them to attend the staff meeting this past monday night. there are lots of stories down here thatstill need to be assigned. please drop in and get involved.

those involved this week were production manager: george kaufman; news editor: bill Sheldon coordinators: gord moore (photo); rod hickman & rats (features). in the crack elite news group this week were gord pearson, bill lenihan, eleanor hyodo, deanna kaufman, and ever popular larry burko who is fastly moving through the echelons of the journal. the photo co-operative (chuckle, chuckle) consisted of brian cere, Scott gray, robert burcher (whose weekend piks have yet to arrive), peter Wilkinson, gord moore, mike pook, sergio zavarella, and Steve izma. the sports commune (har, har) contained-don mccutchen, pete hopkins, dennis mcgann, heather cambell and notes (he put his name at the last to try to cover up the fact that he really ran the show with a whip). in the entertainment frucase were melvill rotman, cousin brian dumont, janet stoody, jim allen, purple niki klein, mary holmes, dave cubberly”(once again the name-at-the-end trick). and that seems to be all. thought for this issue: ‘et tu brutus’.
